Taking off your Sandals

When Moses gets to the Burning Bush, God orders him to take off his sandals, because where he is standing is holy ground. Why?  Often we think in terms of our house.  Remove your shoes because you will get the floor dirty, but the floor was dirty already.  What God was asking was for direct contact with Moses.  I want to feel your soft warm feet and I want you to feel the rich dark earth.  I want nothing between us.  A beautiful thought.
